My first elective for second slot was confirmed just today. I am glad to be working in haematology oncology for 4 weeks with the best doctor in the town. Dr. Vaziri is one of the elite. Soon after my elective he will be moving on to MD Anderson as the director of bone marrow transplant unit there. Hope to make an impression and as a consequence get a recommendation from him. Haemoncology is one of my shortlisted fields of interest. I think it is one of those branches where doctors come in much closer contact with their patients and act at a much wider perspective than merely treating a physical ailment. Connecting to your patient is the essence of being a good doctor.
   Dr. Vaziri no doubt is a dedicated soul. As much as I have come to hear about him from my colleagues he has inspired me for most part of it. He works most part of the day and his patients are the center of his world. He is the one who started the tradition of early morning rounds in this institution. As a matter of fact he is the first one on the morning round_earlier than most of the residents. But for the most part of it he is not happy with the people working with him or around him. The reason being that no one can keep up with his level of dedicated work ethic. Most of the residents hate him for a mere reason that he wants honesty out of them (you dont want to know what these people do to their patients at the premiere institute of the city). But I think most of it doesn't matter when one is as dedicated as him.
   Summing it all up I am looking forward to doing my electives with him. InshaAllah.

Learning Arduino 1

This holiday season I decided to gift myself some basic electrical components in the form of a Arduino UNO set from Elegoo. I have always had a desire to tinker with electronics and in gifting myself this basic set I am now starting on a journey to quench my inner electrical workman's thirst. I hope to develop this hobby as I move forward and will, from time to time, post about it here on the blog. As the journey moves forward I am sure to run into trouble and issues. But as they say you can not master anything without first being a fool at it, so I have decided to remain a fool at it until I am a little good at it. To start with, I do possess some elementary knowledge in electronics and electronic circuits. I intend to further my knowledge using the world wide web and following some very useful video channels on youtube. I will first start with some very basic projects to familiarize myself with Arduino and basic electronic circuits and techniques such as soldering. Then graduall...

Xbox ONE

I have recently purchased the newest version of Microsoft's gaming consoles, the Xbox One . This is a shift from my prior gaming system which was Sony's PS3 . I loved PS3 and preferred it over Xbox 360 for many reasons. It was smarter looking, faster, could play Blu rays, good games and all my friends had PS3s. However the most like able thing about it was the free online game play that Microsoft does not allow. Things I did not appreciate in Sony were its user interface. The move bundle was a waste of money for all intent and purposes as I used it once in the past two years. So this time around I decided to go with Microsoft's game console. The decision was not easy. Obviously PS4 has some good press out there and it is a step forward in technology. However now Xbox can play blu rays too. Also now both consoles require a subscription service for online game play. This sort of made me feel like Sony didn't care for us anymore. I guess paying money might mean better e...

Tax skirting by hospital systems?

The issue of avoiding federal taxes is in the news these days with Apple being in the spotlight.  Most of the times big companies avoid paying US taxes by skirting their profits to tax havens.  Healthcare giants can do the same theoretically.  Imagine if there were a health care giant that opens up shop in tax haven islands and then uses the same technique that commercial entities use to skirt their profits out of the country, thereby avoiding taxes.  This is very much possible.  The of shore clinics can be potentially used to complicate the tax return filing system here in US.  I could never understand why a completely US hospital system would like to open up a clinic in Bahamas.  These clinics are portrayed as the global reach of the entity but who do they actually serve.  We never hear about them in press or public.  These clinics are apparently manned by some doctors we never hear about.  How does this system work?  I really do...
